Field and Cost Optimization of a 5 T/m Normal Conducting quadrupole for the 10-MeV Beam Line of the Electron Linac of the Mexican Particle Accelerator Community

摘要

The Mexican Particle Accelerator Community is currently designing the first Mexican RF eLINAC composed of three beam lines at 10, 60 and 100 MeV. In this work, we present an optimized design in terms of field quality and production cost for the 5 T/m normal conducting quadrupoles of the 10 MeV beamline. Several candidate materials for the yoke were studied in terms of the availability and machinability, with the aim to optimize in-house production cost (Mexico) while restricting a low multipole content.
